Hi,  
When I want to create a new app, for example My Solar, I get in the feeds list only the (real) feeds with PHPFINA. The other ones, PHPTIMESERIES and the virtual feeds are not shown in the combox list box !  
Bug or feature?  
Fred

Hi @FredM67,

I believe it’s because this engine list is limited to “5” by default:

> <https://github.com/emoncms/app/blob/5fc595aaa7de2c467acc43c70cc1cea7ba12650c/apps/OpenEnergyMonitor/mysolarpv/mysolarpv.php#L208>

You can see here in the config parser that you can set a comma-separated list:

> <https://github.com/emoncms/app/blob/5fc595aaa7de2c467acc43c70cc1cea7ba12650c/Lib/config.js#L385>

Here’s the full list of possible engines:

So, for example, if you wanted PHPFINA and virtual then set this in the app’s config in the PHP:

> “engine”:“5,7”

and you should see more feeds.

Hope that helps.
